Has anyone been to General Information recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips

I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
